If you’re thinking about selling your home as fall ends and winter begins, here are five tips that can make the process a whole lot easier:
1. Price it correctly from the get-go. Some agents will take a listing at any single price they can and try to work the seller down from there. Other sellers prefer to build negotiation into their listing price. I think those are both bad approaches. Pricing your home right from the very beginning will ultimately generate a better offer.
2. Increase your curb appeal. This can be as simple as getting the lawn cut or as extravagant as tilling a whole new plant selection.
3. Use professional photography. Most people will first see your home as they’re browsing online, so professional photographs can make a world of difference in terms of generating interest. Our team pays for our own professional photographer. If your agent doesn’t, I recommend that you float the bill yourself.

4. Be prepared to negotiate. Not just on the price and the terms of the offer, but also things like repairs. After the home inspection is done, you need to be willing to work with the buyer to come to a resolution on any repairs that have to be done.
5. Be flexible with showings. Obviously, with Christmas coming up, selling a home at this time of year can be difficult. The more access you give your agent to your home, the more showings you’ll have. More showings will result in a better overall response. Any time that you can approve a showing, don’t hesitate.
